Open Issue: NOTIFY
•"In this scenario, the Appearance Agent does not have any way of
•  knowing Bob's dialog state information, except through Bob. This
•  could be because the Appearance Agent is not part of a B2BUA, or
•  perhaps Bob is remotely registering.  When Bob registers, the
•  Appearance Agent receives a registration event package notification
•  from the registrar.  The Appearance Agent then SUBSCRIBEs to Bob's
•  dialog event state.  Whenever Bob's dialog state changes, a NOTIFY is
•  sent to the Appearance Agent who then notifies the other other UAs in
•  the group.
•
•     OPEN ISSUE: Does Bob PUBLISH to select/seize an appearance, or
•     does he just NOTIFY the Appearance Agent?"
•
•Proposal: Use NOTIFY instead of PUBLISH when the Appearance Agent subscribes.
